MARIETTA COLLEGE.
Courses of Justruction.
Two parallel and equivalent courses of study are pursued in the College, each occupying four years.
1. The Classical Course, in which the Latin and Greek languages and literature are combined with mathematical, scientific and phil- osophical studies in that proportion which the experience of the best Colleges has sanctioned.
2. The Philosophical Course, in which German and certain sci- entific and English studies are substituted for the Greek.

MARIETTA COLLEGE.
General Information,
LOCATION .- The College is located at Marietta, at the mouth of the Muskingum, where the first settlement of the "Territory north- west of the river Ohio" was made on the seventh of April, 1788. The institution was founded by the sons of the pioneers, among whom were an unusual number of men of liberal education. It is accessible by steamers on the Ohio and Muskingum rivers, and by the Marietta and Cincinnati, the Cleveland and Marietta, and the Baltimore and Ohio Railways.
INSTRUCTION .- Each class has sixteen recitations or lectures a week ; the regular hours for recitations being at the close of morning prayers, at eleven o'clock, and at about four in the afternoon. The instruction in the four college classes is given by permanent profes- sors and is chiefly in connection with text-books, supplemented by lectures in most of the branches of study.
EXAMINATIONS .- All the classes are examined near the close of each term. The examinations usually combine both the oral and written methods.
The examination results are combined with the recitation averages in the determination of grades.
In making up the recitation averages there is no preference of one branch over another, but the estimate is made according to the time devoted to each study.
Reports of standing and punctuality will be sent to parents when requested.
WORSHIP .- Prayers are attended every morning in the College Chapel, when all students are required to be present.
On the Sabbath there is no regular preaching service in the Chapel, but the students worship with the people of the place, each student attending regularly such one of the churches as his parents or guardian may select.
PUNCTUALITY .- The amount of work required of the student is sufficient to occupy him every day from the beginning of the session to its close. Any absence, therefore, for whatever reason, causes a serious loss to the student, and excuses cannot be granted except in
15
-
MARIETTA COLLEGE.
cases of unavoidable absence. The good of each student, as well as the interests of the College as a whole, make the rule of punctuality imperative.
The attention of parents and guardians is especially called to the importance of seeing that the student is not delayed in his return at the beginning of the term, and that he is not interrupted by absence during term time save for the most urgent reasons. Nor must self- imposed work be allowed to interfere with College duties.
ORDER .- As College is a place for intellectual work, and the self- improvement which is thereby attained, it is essential that nothing should be tolerated which interferes with the successful prosecution of study. The large freedom which is essential to the best results of college life makes it impossible to allow that freedom to be abused by the student.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS, LIBRARIES, ETC.
The College occupies an entire square in a retired and quiet part of Marietta, aud yet is within a short distance of the Post Office and the business portion of the town. On the grounds are four buildings erected for the various purposes of the institution.
The Dormitory building has some thirty rooms for the use of students. The Greek Recitation Room is in this building.
The Central Building has a Laboratory, Mathematical Room, the President's Recitation Room, the Latin Room, the Rhetorical Room, "Hildreth Cabinet," 'Slocomb Hall," and the Halls of the Alpha Kappa and Psi Gamma Societies.
The Laboratory is large and commodious, and supplied with gas. It is furnished with working desks and every convenience for carry- ing on an extensive course of experiments in general chemistry and qualitative and quantitative analysis. Each student is supplied with a desk and the necessary apparatus, and is required to perform a large number of experiments.
Lectures on general chemistry are given to the Senior Class during the first term.
The "Hildreth Cabinet" contains the various collections of miner- als, shells, etc., made by the Late Dr. S. P. Hildreth, and presented by him to the College.
16
MARIETTA COLLEGE.
The collections of minerals, shells, fossils, etc., ete., are large and valuable. In the cabinet is a large meteorie stone, one of the four or five largest known to exist.
Lectures on Physics, with use of the Apparatus, are given to the Junior Class during the second term.
The first story of the north building- erected by the former students of the College-is occupied as a Chapel, and by the Literary Societies for their Libraries. The two Library Rooms are fitted up and furnished with much taste.
The whole of the second story is for the College Library, the room being seventy-five feet by forty-eight, and twenty feet high. There are twenty-five aleoves, cach lighted by its own window. In this room are also the "Hildreth Cabinet Library," the Library and Museum of the Society of Inquiry, and some five hundred models from the Patent Office.
The number of volumes in the various libraries of the College is 30,500.
The Preparatory Department occupies a separate building. It contains, beside the large Room used for Study and Recitations by the Principal, a number of smaller Recitation Rooms, a Hall for the Academy Literary Society, and a number of lodging rooms for students.
The College Boat-house, a beautiful and convenient building, stands in the City Park on the bank of the Muskingum; it contains shells and other boats, both of the Rowing Association and of various individual owners. The Muskingum, for a distance of five miles above the Marietta dam, furnishes a sheet of water unsurpassed in adaptation for rowing. The upper story of the Boat-house has been partially fitted up as a gymnasium.
SOCIETIES.
There are two Literary Societies-the Alpha Kappa and Psi Gam- ma. These Societies have commodious and handsomely furnished Halls, and large and well selected Libraries, the two containing 10,837 volumes. Their exercises, consisting of debates, orations written and extemporaneous-and declamations, together with their public representations, and their practice in the work of organizing a deliberative assembly, and carrying on its proceedings knowledge of rapidly increasing importance-make these one of the most important features of the College course.
17
MARIETTA COLLEGE.
ALUMNI ASSOCIATIONS.
There are three societies of Marietta Alumni.
1. The general Alumni Association occupies Tuesday of Com- mencement Week with its Annual Meeting, Address, Poem and Dinner. Its officers for the current year are as follows : President, Hon. A T. Goshorn, Cincinnati; Vice-president, Rev G. R. Gear, Marietta; Secretary, T. D. Dale, Marietta ; Treasurer, S. J. Hatha- way, Marietta.
2. The Marietta College Club of Cincinnati holds its Annual Reunion in January, and has been active and liberal in promoting the interests of the College. Its officers for 1883 are : President, A. A. Ferris ; Vice-president, Rev. D. W. Rhodes ; Secretary, L. W. Gilliland; Treasurer, E. C. S. Rehm ; Historian, T. H. Kelley.
3. The Marietta College Club of Columbus held its first Reunion Feb. 23, 1883. Its Officers are : President, Amos Layman ; Vice- president, Dr. E. A. Kelley ; Secretary, B. H. Brooks; Treasurer, David E. Putnam; Historian, J. E. Sater.
/
TERMS AND VACATIONS.
The College year is divided into three terms. The fall term is fifteen weeks in length; the winter term is twelve, and the spring term eleven. The summer vacation is ten weeks, the winter and spring two each.
EXPENSES.
The tuition averages fifteen dollars a term. Room rent is from ten to fifteen dollars for each occupant. The rooms are not furnished except with stoves or grates. For use of the library and for warm- ing and care of public rooms, the cost is from six to eight dollars a year. At present prices of coal, the cost of fuel is about five dollars a year where two students occupy a room.
18
MARIETTA COLLEGE.
The price of table board varies from two dollars and a quarter to three dollars a week. Board in clubs may be obtained at still lower rates. Furnished rooms in private families with board may be had for from three to five dollars a week.
The college term bills are payable in advance. at the beginning of cach term. Where a student retains his standing no deduction is made for absence.
PECUNIARY AID.
From funds contributed for that purpose, of which Deacon Samuel Train, of Medford, Mass., gave $5,000, the College has been able to appropriate each year sufficient to pay the tuition and room rent of students preparing for the ministry who needed such aid.
Students of this class also receive assistance from churches through denominational Boards and Societies. This is from seventy-five to one hundred dollars a year.
Money is occasionally contributed by those who appreciate the value of even a little assistance to a student seeking an education, to be loaned or given to young men in narrow circumstances. The Trustees would be glad to be furnished with the means of aiding a larger number of such students.
PUTNAM SCHOLARSHIPS.
In the will of the late Hon. William Rufus Putnam, a bequest was made to the College for the purpose of providing free tuition to mer- itorious students of narrow means. As the nominal tuition fee is far below the actual cost, the bequest provides that for each hundred dollars of net annual income free tuition is to be given to one student. Other things being equal, preference will be given to the sons of clergymen. The bequest is at present available only in part, but it is expected that a few students can be received on the foundation at the beginning of the College year 1883-84.
19
MARIETTA COLLEGE.
SCHOLARSHIPS.
The following Scholarships have been endowed by benevolent per- sons on a foundation of $1,000 each. They are for the most part in the gift of the College, and entitle the occupants to tuition without charge :
KEYS SCHOLARSHIPS, five in number, by bequest of Mrs. Mary Keys, of Columbus, for students preparing for the ministry.
MORGAN SCHOLARSHIPS, four in number, by bequest of Samuel C. Morgan, Esq., and Mrs. Frances A. Morgan, of Norwich, Conn.
HAMILTON SCHOLARSHIPS, two in number, by Robert Hamilton, Esq., and Mrs. R. R. Hamilton, of Hanging Rock.
